ADDITIONAL LOCAL MATTER BOY HAS DISAPPEARED; PARTIES ARE SEARCHING Three-year-old Boy Son of Mr.Shepard, Near Solway, Gone Since Friday. Solway, May 27.—(Special to the Pioneer.) The mysterious disappearance from his home (three miles southeast of Solway) of the 3-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Shepherd has caused a sensation in this com- munity and organized parties are searching the woods and cut-over country for some trace of the missing child. The little boy was last seen at his home Jast Friday morning His absence at the noon meal hour did not occasion wmuch comment, but when the little fel- ow failed to appear at supper that evening and was not on hard at bedtime, there was un- easiness, and it was determined to make a search for the missing boy. Inquiry at the homes of neigh- bors in the vicinity failed to locate the youth. Mr. Shepherd came to Solway and enlisted the services of a large crowd of men, who have been scouring the woods since Sunday morning, in the hope of finding the boy. At this writing the lLttle one has not been located, and it is feared that he has been killed or has died from exposure in the woods. A thorough search will be made for thelittle fellow, and a discription of the boy bhas been sent to Bemidji and all surround- ing towns to be on the watch for the Shepherd boy. REV. 1. PEART SPOKE ON “HOW TO SUGGEED” Lontinued from first page order to stand. Three of the world’s greatest poets were blird, Homer, Ossian and Milton. Hall Payson and Baxter were invalids. “Now notice a few things that will help you to succeed. “l, A substantial education. A burglar can break into your house and steal, bad debts can smash up a business, but no- body can steal your education or smash it up. It is yours and comes to stay. ¥ducation will draw out your latent powers and bring to the front the best in you. You have nothing to fear a8 far ag success is concerned if you have a good education. Edu- cated persons are in demand all over the country, In all your getting, get an education. It will make youa servant of the publicand a benefactor of the human race. “2. Have a purpose. The Great Apostle said: ‘This one thing I do.” Have the current of a great purpose sweeping through your being Don’t be drift wood. Have a port in view. Fasten your mind upon one thing, and go for it. Go for it till you get it. This is an age of specialism. Be a specialist. Jack-of-all trades master of none. Concentration of purposeisabso- lutely necessary to success. May the current of a great pur- pose turn in your zone and set it on fire with a desire to be a master of one work. *'3. Bmall pocketbook is no hindrance to success. Many of the world’s emancipators and bene- factors had a poer start in life. Luther, Wesley, Columbus, Lin- coln and the editor in chief of the New York World. So remember that neither youthfulness, poor nor small means will stand in your way to success. 4. Be sure you are adapted to your work. In choosing your work to ses that it is best adapted to your talents and pe- culiarities. There is much more satisfaction m being successful in the humblest vocation, than to come in possession of a lofty station for which you are not the least adapted and fail, much to vour disgrace and to the mortifi- cation of your friends. Other things beiug equal. You will succeed in proportion as you are adapted to that which you undertake to do. 5. Persseverance. Startand don’t stop. If you fall down, get up and svart again. A woman in China was seen rubbiag a crowbar over a stone day after day, and upon being asked what she was doing, said—‘‘There are no needles in Chinaso I am mak- ing one.” Go on and keep going on. At the close of the sermon the pastor had the class stand and he gave them a few words of religious advice.” DOINGS AMONG BEMIDJI'S GOUNTRY NEIGHBORS Live Correspondents of the Pioneer Write the News From Their Localities.

Y., May 2§.—Hornell was terrorized during the night by a gang of veggmen. Night Watchman John Hendy was fatally shot, Night Watchman Thomas Kelly was badly beaten and several others were in- jured. Three yeggmen were arrested after two of the gang had been shot. The robbers first appeared at a grocery and meat market, where they blew open a safe and obtained $40. The residence of William F. Purdy was next entered, where some articles of value were taken. Here an ala‘'m was raised and a woman living next door put her head out of a window, whereupon three shots were fired at her, which broke the windows, flying glass cutting the woman’s face. The gang then broke into the Steuben silk mills, where they were surprised by Night Watchman Kelly, whom they beat into insensibility. They secured no plunder at the silk mills and later appeared at the Street Railway com- pany’s offices, where they were con- fronted by Night Watchman Hendy. Firing began on both sides and Hen- dy was fatally shot. - By this time the town had been aroused and pursuit of the robbers began. They jumped on a moviag freight and the police and posse fol- lowed on a switch engine. One of the robbers was seen to jump into the river from the freight. He was fol- lowed by a policeman, who swam 100 yards and. arrested the man at the point of his pistol. The two other Tobbers escaped In the direction of Canisteo. The Canisteo police were notified and met them with shotguns and both were wounded with buckshot before they would give up. JOHN BELL CONVICTED. Jury Finds Him Guilty of Murdering Physician. New York, May z'—John Bell, on trial at Richmond, 8. I, for the mur- der of Dr. Charles W. Townsend, has been convicted and sentenced to be electrocuted on the first Monday in July next. Bell closed an impassioned appeal to the jury by saying: “I am no Harry K. Thaw, but plain John Bell. I have no wealth—Dbut if I had I could produce witnesses whose testi- mony would acquit me.” Bell was happily married a few years ago. A year after the wedding his wife died in childbirth. Dr. Town- send, a prominent physician of Staten island, had attended her. On the hum- ble stone that marked her grave Bell caused to be chiseled: “Revenge Re- news Our Happy Love in Heaven.” For months he brooded over his affliction. To his friends he expressed the conviction that his wife had not received proper medical care. On the night of Jan. 29 last Dr. Townsend ‘was shot to death in his bed. Letters subsequently written by Bell caused his arrest and in court his own fam- ily, with the exception of his father, who was excused, appeared against him.

SURPRISE IN NOTED TRIAL Both the Prosecution and Defense Ac- cept Juror Who Opposes Capital Punishment in Cases of Organiza- tions Seeking Destruction of Society. Boise, Ida., May 27.—Two more talesmen qualified as jurors and the fourteenth snd fifteenth peremptory challenges were expended at the Steunenberg murder trial during the morning. The state has but two per- emptory challenges left and the de- fense oniy three more, so that the completion of jury building is finally in sight. Talesman Finley McBean, who qualified to the satisfaction of the state, was not long in passing muster to the satisfaction of the defense. As soon as it passed McBean the defense challenged Juror John Whitlock of chair No. 6 and the filling of the va- cancy created one of the most remark- able discussions of the entire jury quest. After two talesmen had been dismissed for bias because of fixed opinions J. E. Tourtellotte, architect of Boige, was called. Uunder examina- tion by Senator Borah he said he was opposed to capital punishment. Re- gardless of this he was passed. Hang Anarchists on Sight. Clarence Darrow, who examined Tourtellotte for the defense, went di- rectly to the attitude 3f the talesman on capital punishment. Tourtellotte declared that he could only justify capital punishment in time of war and when society must protect itself against orgonizations seeking its de- struction. It developed that he re- ferred to anarchists in the latter con- nection and Tourtellotte said that he was prepared to hang an anarchist on sight. Other than in war and anarchy society had no right, he thought, to take human life; no right to take any- thing it could not give. Mr, Darrow made sure that the tales- man did not mean the Western Fed- eration of Miners when he referred to organizations that made war on so- ciety and after a conference with his colleagues suddenly announced that the defense passed Tourtellotte. As the latter clearly disqualified himself for jury duty by his attitude toward capital punishment it was not clear why the state passed him. The state then challenged Juror George H. Mec- Intyre of seat No. 7. RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT.
